2/04/2010 to 5/04/2010 | Easter at Araps and Pharos Gully Working Bee Location: Mt Arapiles
Leader: Rob Martin
Details: Climbing, Chocolate and Rocks! What a perfect combination!
Spots in our regular Pharos gully working bees are always sought after - the waiting lists are extensive. So this time we've opened up a heap more spots and all of those unlucky climbers who have missed out each time will have no problem. Spare a couple of hours on either the Saturday or Sunday to move a few rocks each. Our stonemason Walter will then be on the road to finishing the last leg of the Pharos Gully Track Repair. Drop Tracey a line at cliffcare@vicclimb.org.au
But it's not all work. No Siree. It's Easter at Araps so its all about rocks and chocolate - eat and climb in moderation or totally indulge. Its up to you. You have 4 days to do it.
Level: Beginners to Advanced
For those coming on the Easter Trip and are wanting info on the Horsham area, check out http://visithorsham.com.au/. There's also lots of activities for those not climbing.
